Do I wear this for the first time @ a meet?

I usually wear drag suits at meets. On a couple of occasions I've worn the Speedo Fastskin II suit (not the full body) or knee skin. Here's the deal. I've got an old version (but new as it's not been worn yet) of the Speedo BodySkin cgi.ebay.com/New-Womens-SPEEDO-FASTSKIN-RECORDBREAKER-BODYSKIN-S_W0QQitemZ170186384753QQihZ007QQcategoryZ137008QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItem It's been sitting in my closet for at least 3 years now. I haven't worn it b/c it's 1. Pain to put on, take off, go the bathroom 2. Looks awful (not worse than the kneeskin I guess) 3. Seems as if it would make me hot in the water in my distance free events - does it?! 4. Not sure it will work as it's so old (doesn't something happen to the material over time even if not used.) 5. Concerned on the dive that something may pop out as it appears to be cut very close in the chest area - I "think" it's for women but it could be for men as the tag is off. . . Arg. Would it really matter if I swam with a guy's suit anyway? 6. Oh and this is really stupid, but nothing is worn under it, right? I swear I've seen people with their suits on under it! So should I just bite the bullet and try it for my 1000 free this weekend? I'm too lazy to try out in practice like Ande. Seems like such a pain. Thanks for any advice. Yeah. I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseam in other threads. But those are my concerns. 1.yes pain--you may need a special taper to get on/off 2. no--looks good. 3. no--shouldn't make you hot (unless the water is significantly over 80deg) 4.maybe--you'll know if there is something wrong once you get it on at which time present immediately to your local ER to have it removed with special trauma shears (kidding). 5. don't think so--but where nothing is risked, nothing gained. 6. absolutely nothing under except your birthday suit. In summary, I say rock that thing.
